I did a quick test here by looking if UPX --ultra-brute --lzma --8086 generated smaller binaries than the one which are distributed in the MTCP/UPX file. And indeed smaller, so think Mike used default UPX settings ( --best --8086). It's indeed quite likely LZMA and UltraBrute options may at least cause slower loading (more decompression time required) or not work at all on 8086. If it does work however, awesome :) LZMA versus other alghorythms: likely slower indeed, but wasn't tested as Mike tested against uncompressed binaries (with longer DISK-reading time yet no time wasted on decompressing ofcourse). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
